Mike, I really enjoyed your story, your narrative style. It provided some great guidance in the decision-making process.

So I went to bed with one view on it, yet woke with another one, as I came back to re-read. It became way too long for a comment, so I’m posting it, here, along with the one on the same topic that followed—

Confirmation Bias & Falsification — Another Look

Cure for Confirmation Bias

The first one links back to your story — of course ;)
